So I signed up on the Eternal Crusade site and all that. I have to say this game looks super early... like, really early. I'm not even sure what I'd be pledging for at higher tiers - earlier alpha/beta access? More cash shop money? Did I miss anything?

I am hopeful for the game, but I am still going to wait till we have a game play trailer or something before I invest money in it.

So far it looks like a really pre-alpha form of Space Marine multiplayer. Which begs the question, why didn't they just request the Space Marine assets.

Possibility 1: complex legal issues prevent sharing assets that way. Possibility 2 (terrifyingly more likely): 3d artists who are *also* warhammer nerds in new studio refuse to take old models and assets because they're all 'wrong' and 'out of scale'. Pledge to do it all over again, only this time the 'right' way.

Donnerberg posted:Eternal Crusade: Looted Space Marine The jetpack is completely from Space Marine down to the target on the ground however. You can tell the stuff they replaced because it doesn't look like it fits in at all like when he does the ground slam from the air it immediately goes to a weird looking almost static animation. It just makes me feel bad for Relic having done all this work just to have GW throw it at whoever was the lowest bidder. I hope this game is good but man shovelware studios aren't known for their ability to turn into great content creators.

Have they said anything about having a cover system? Ideally it would work like in the new Tomb Raider where your character just automatically crouches when close to cover without having to press anything to enter or leave.

The devs sound like they care and that they know 40K but they also sound really naive Like this magical server system they've bought from a third party and are going to use for the game. They claim they'll be able to pack 1000's of people into small areas and I just don't buy it Planetside 2 can barely handle a few hundred people in the same area without people starting to phase in and out of existance and lagging around and that's with a studio who had previous massive multiplayer experience

I'm still not quite sure what kind of idiot wouldn't just clone Planetside in the 40K universe and print money. Then again ~*my vision*~.

MAX's would even give some vague way of implementing Terminators and other "elite" units for factions. Scale up infantry to be big guys, MAX's are bigger guys, problem solved. MAX crashes in Planetside 2 are already pretty close to how termies are used in the fluff anyway. Well, without any teleporters I guess.

Cover systems are for weedy space-elfs, the Emperor's Finest don't hide behind poo poo like cowards. So far, the rigged-up deathmatches and capture games they've been playing inhouse make me think the core part of their game might be pretty far along as far as shooting mans goes. At least the devs have familiarity with the IP, but the four classes per faction is giving me some nasty Warhammer Online vibes.

Yeah, the fact that all the videos so far show no sign of a real cover system is disconcerting. If they really want battles to involve hundreds of players then it's going to be widely chaotic if everyone is always running around in the open. How is a puny eldar supposed to survive in that?

There will probably be objects and structures in the game. Some of them likely to stand between you and the guy shooting at you.

Magic and mobility. Eldar have plenty of bullshit that would allow them to win a stand up fight with a Space Marine.

I had planned to throw some money at this one but after I took a look at the founder page I thought 'WTF, $450 bucks to play as Eldar?'. Then I read it properly and checked through the FAQ. I wonder how many people took one look, jumped to the same conclusion and left again without reading? I gave them some money and now we wait to see what they come up with.

Am I reading that OP correctly? If you pay for the game you'll be able to play a glorious Space Marine and get to mow down hordes of unwashed pubbie free-to-play Orks? That sounds hilariously tear-inducing. I'm in.....I'm not pre-ordering though. Never again.

According to the email they sent out, there's going to be a Twitch stream of a "Team Combat Demonstration" from 1:30-2:30pm EDT this Friday, July 25th on https://www.twitch.tv/40kcrusade. They claim they'll be answering questions from both Twitch chat and twitter, so I guess there's that.
